Salt 03:56
lyrics

Salt in a sugar bowl Sunglasses in moonlight Rain that dries in the middle of the night Salt in a sugar bowl Everything that you knew Everything you thought you ever knew Everything you knew was wrong Everyone that you knew Everyone you thought you ever knew Everyone you knew is gone Sugar in a salt jar Sunlight through a tunnel Rivers that run through the driest drought years Sugar in a salt jar Everything that you knew Everything you thought you ever knew Everything you knew was wrong Everyone that you knew Everyone you thought you ever knew Everyone you knew is gone Shadows dark Without any light Might you find your way? Tunnels dark Without any light Right is left & Wrong is right Everything that you knew Everything you thought you ever knew Everything you knew was wrong Everyone that you knew Everyone you thought you ever knew Everyone you knew is (dead and gone) (x3)

We Hide 03:56

Into deep shadow we hide What's inside Into deep shadow--deep and wide Into deep show we hide Hide from the children Ashamed long and wide Ashamed long and wide Hide from the children Ashamed, take in stride Ashamed, take in stride In the deep shadows we find Broken pride In the deep shadows we find What they hide In the deep shadow we find... Hide from the children Ashamed long and wide Ashamed long and wide Hide from the children Ashamed long and wide Ashamed long and wide

Waiting for the Heat 04:39
lyrics

Look for me in the covers Look for me in the sheets Hiding in the blankets, Hiding from the freeze Down to the basement Underneath the street Up to the top floors We're waiting for the heat We're waiting for the lighting of the heat Waiting for the heat We're going to start the heat! Look for me at the corner Look for me at your feet Hiding in the shadows Hiding from the freeze Down to the subway Underneath the stones of the street Up to the top floors We're waiting for the heat We're waiting for the lighting of the heat Waiting for the heat We're going to start the heat! Look for me in the mirror Loof for me in your feet In the pain in your fingers In the pain as you're walking down the street Down to the subway Underneath the stones of the street Up to the top floors We're waiting for the heat We're waiting for the lighting of the heat Waiting for the heat We're going to start the heat!

You're staring at the sky You're staring at the sky to see what's falling down on you You're staring at the sun You're staring at the sun and you're surprised you can't see anything at all You're living for your fears You're living for your fears and your sorrows You're living for your tears You're living for your tears and your terrors You'r staring at the sea You'r staring at the sea to see if you see a Tsunami You're staring at the ground You're staring at the ground and you're surprised that you walk right into walls You're living for your fears You're living for your fears and your sorrows You're living for your tears You're living for your tears and your terrors You can stay in your room Or you can enter the world You can live behind the pale Or you can enter the wide, wide world

To the Wind! 03:24

Throw it to the wind! Watch it blow Throw it from the windows! Feel it blow away There's nothing to remember, nothing left There's nothing to forget about, bereft You feel it blow, you're watching it blow away (x2) Throw it to the wind! Watch it blow Throw it from the windows! Feel it blow away There's nothing to remember, nothing left There's nothing to forget about, bereft You feel it blow, you're watching it blow away (x2) I'm not there, no I'm not me I'm just half way where I want to be Call it what you will, call it PTSD I'm just half the man I want to be I'm just halfway where I want to be

Ghost Town 02:44
lyrics
buy track
From Gilman to Uptown Close to silence right through this town From San Pablo to the bottom of the bay Ghosts whispering "We're here to stay!" It's a ghost town Ghost town Oaktown All the shell mounds Will never be Will never be found! From Southside through Temescal Undertones of ghost songs Heed their call From Lorin through Pill Hill Listen closely--like a breeze through a mill It's a ghost town Ghost town Oaktown All the shell mounds Will never be Will never be found! (x2)

Ways of Men 04:15

Was it enough to act as tough as nails? Was it enough to act like ruffians? Was it enough to act as tough as layers of steel Was it enough? Day in, day out Hiding from the ways Day in, day out Hiding from, hiding from The ways of men Was it enough to act as tough as nails? Was it enough to act like ruffians? Was it enough to act as tough as layers of steel Was it enough? Day in, day out Hiding from the ways Day in, day out Hiding from, hiding from The ways of men It wasn't enough How was I to know? It wasn't enough

Come to Call 03:20
lyrics

Where will we go? Where will we go When the shadows and the darkness Come to call? Where will we go? Where will we go When the shadows and the darkness Come to call? To the mountain where the rain falls down To the oceans where the waves crash down In the end we all fall down Where will you go? Where will we go When the shadows and the darkness Come to call? Where will we go? Where will we go When the shadows and the darkness Come to call? To the cliff side where the wind rages round To the oceans where the waves crash down To the mountains where the rains fall down In the end we all fall down In the end we all fall down

Inside out and outside in knocks me down Downside up and upside down cannot hold I'm wasting my days chasing shadows on the floor I'm wasting my nights tracing shadows on the floor You, you my friend Only you know You, you my friend Only you understand You, you my friend Only you forgive

All of the Good is Gone 02:15
lyrics
buy track
All of the good is gone All the two-bit croissants Dive bars and haunts Boys with guitars Big old steel cars All of the good is gone All of my good friends are gone All those stories and lies Their laughter and long cries Books borrowed not returned Special secrets I learned All of my good friends are gone Hey, wait a moment What's that going down on Saturday? We'll be there all together Ain't over, not quite All of the good is gone All of the good is gone Buying clothes by pound Free books to be found Rent you could mostly afford Was never once bored All of the good is gone All of the good is gone Thicker hair on my head You in my bed Mornings slept until ten Can't remember the last time when Hey, wait a moment What's that going down on Saturday? We'll be there all together Ain't over, not quite All of the good is gone

Say Goodbye 02:53
lyrics

Chinese elms that you climb You won't be here tomorrow, climb them one last time Take your head from the book It's your last time here, take one more look Say goodbye Say goodbye To the ceilings and the floors Say goodbye To the neighbors at their doors Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye Brick oven that you climb You won't be here tomorrow, climb it one last time Take your head from the book It's your last time here, climb it one last time Take your head from the book It's your last time here, take one more look Say goodbye Say goodbye To the ceilings and the floors Say goodbye To the neighbors at their doors Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye

Every light shines down on you (x3) Every song harmonizes with you (x3) Every beat syncopates with you (x3) You're the song I'm singing to You're the light shining through Every song I'll dance with you
